You may find this odd, but I treasure a moment or two during shoveling. I usually trudge out around 6:30 in the morning (early for me) to clear the car, the driveway and the walkway.
What I find is that I am alone. Alone with the snow. Alone in the winter wonderland. The pristine beauty created by Mother Nature glistening in the rising sun. It is quite a sight.
It is also peaceful. My neighbors aren't yet up, so mine is only the shovel and those lucky few with snowblowers are still sleeping. The only sound is of the wind as it gently pushes it way here and there.
It is me, the quiet and the beauty for a treasured moment.

Ah, this sounds so magical. I must try it. The first hard part will be getting up early, the second hard part will be shoveling and the really tough part will be trying to find the treasure in this! Actually, I do love looking at the snow but shoveling is not my cuppa tea. The silence in snow is deeper than in any other condition, I think. Nice post!
I so relate to your treasure ... the early hours when you have the whole world to yourself ... the peace and calm ... wonderful

Lovely! We don't get snow often here and when we do its pure treasure! I love the quietness of snow
You so captured the atmosphere in your piece. Can't remember the last time we saw snow here which makes your post even more special.
